Hey Thomas, the shallow depth really works well causing the great wash of color. Good details on the eyes.

Thanks,Mike!

Nice fuzzy fly. Especially love the BG! Natural light (no flash)?

[Alfred Forns]

Getting the fly is just the half of it Love the feel and setting !!!! Big Congrats !!!

[Thomas Herou]

Thanks!
No flash is used.

Excellent capture Thomas. Getting perfect focus on that eye at f/4 is quite an accomplishment. And that fly on that background work together nicely to create a "mood". Well done.

Thomas, I really like the shallow depth of field and the gorgeous BG it created!! Nicely done.

Just goes to show that one can't judge a book by its cover. Who'd have thought that Cabbage Root-fly would lead to such a cool shot. The fly's eye(s) and green background are a killer combo.

Hi Thomas,
I like the shallow DOF here as the focus is perfect......for my tastes a crop off the top and right...to a little tighter ROT position....would be my preference.....but still very well executed.

Thanks for the comments!
It would work very well with your crop-suggestion,but I like space in pictures
and thought it would suite better in this kind of image.
